Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government and Land Development Agency

Ms Maria Graham:

-----it is reflected in the legislation that it is public lands with capacity for over 10,000 houses, which would be the same as the urban fund. Many of the projects that we saw in the first call for the urban regeneration development fund would be from local authorities doing feasibility studies for activation in their areas. The two almost sit together. We will see investment to unlock lands, certainly in many of the regional cities and towns. There can be site assembly by local authorities, maybe on smaller sites rather than the LDA. It is not taking that function away.
